Driving From the South

Out of Oshkosh, NE, take Main Street, to H, then it basically remains the same road although at every turn the road number does change. About 4-5 miles out of town the road will turn to dirt and remain that way for roughly ten miles as it crosses Blue Creek. About 5 miles out from The Rackett lodge, the road will change to a single paved lane. After passing Ferrel Cattle/Solar on your right, and Cresent Lake National Wildlife Refuge in your left, the Rackett lodge will be on your left in another mile. Also, you will not have cell service from Oshkosh to The Rackett.

Right off Highway 2 to the South, you will see South Ashby Road which is only 2 miles East of Ashby Nebraska. From the intersection on Highway 2, The Rackett Grange and Hunting Preserve is 33.5 miles or 55 minutes. It's a paved one lane road that weaves up and down through the Sandhills. There are a few ranches on the road, so be careful going over hills oncoming vehicles. Also, you will not have cell service from Highway 2 to The Rackett.
